Neil Young

After The Gold Rush


limited edition 180 gram audiophile vinyl lp reissue 'after the goldrush' mixes up the hard rock of 'everyone knows this is nowhere' and the folk and country leanings young pursued with crosby stills and nash in one of his most eclectic and satisfying releases the acoustic picking on the opener 'tell me why' frames young's vulnerable warble beautifully signalling the softer aspect of the album but the electric crunch of 'southern man' a raging tour de force protestsong that captures the special chemistry between young and backing group crazy horse balances young's sensitivity with aggression and amplification the album continues its collage of styles from the wistfulness of 'only love can break your heart' to song fragments like 'til the morning comes' to the transformation of don gibson's 'oh lonesome me' from canter to ballad but the crowning achievements are the album's magnificent title track a vividly drawn portrait of post'60s melancholy and the gorgeous aching 'birds' a swansong heralding emotional departure both songs are graced by nils lofgren's delicate piano and stand as two of young's finest compositions in a catalogue filled with rock classics 'after the goldrush' still ranks among the best
